The 411:

We love honey and add it to our shakes, apple cinder vinegar shots, tea, oatmeal, sometimes toast and chicken dishes. We even take spoon fulls when we are feeling tired, weak or have a sore throat so I was so happy to try Local Hive Honey.

We tried the New England and the Northeast honey. The New England honey was of course very similar to the Northeast honey. So far we have tried this honey in our morning warm water, lemon, honey and cinnamon concoction. We drink it every morning now that the cold weather is here. I work in daycare which means I am around sick, snotty nosed kids all day. Taking honey makes me feel like I am being proactive.

My father's boyfriend told me that he prefers honey because it is better for diabetics but has a few more calories. He uses honey as an alternative to sugar whenever he can for his diabetes. I am going to send him a bottle to see what he thinks about Local Hive. Here are some recipes from Local Hive for your Holiday cookies and frosting.

Beat the sugar
and butter on high until fluffy, between 7 - 8 ½ minutes. Scrape beans from 2
vanilla bean pods and set aside. Beat together honey, egg, egg yolk, vanilla
beans and extract. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch,
salt, and baking powder.

Then add in the
rest of the beaten ingredients and mix well.

You should have a
dough-consistency.

Sprinkle a
cutting board or other clean area with powdered sugar. (No flour)

Roll out dough and
but into your holiday shapes.

Bake on parchment
paper after putting in the freezer for about 6 minutes, so they get more solid.

Bake at 350º for
9-11 minutes and cool on wire rack.

Honey Vanilla
Frosting

1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup half and
half

1 teaspoon
vanilla extract

1 vanilla bean

4 cups powdered
sugar

1 lb. cold butter

Scrape the beans
from the vanilla bean pod and set aside. Beat the honey, vanilla plus
vanilla beans and then beat in half of the powdered sugar. Beat in the half and
half. Combine this with the powdered sugar and beat until well.

After cutting the
cold butter into small pieces, be sure to add it a little bit at a time, mixing
on high speed with a whisk attachment or by hand. Beat on high speed for 9
minutes, or until it looks fluffy.

Decorate your
holiday cookies and add sprinkles or other edible decorations and enjoy!
